Hey everyone. So since i've flashed cwm recovery to my sgs3, i cant seem to get it to mount the internal or external sd to my pc when i connect and select mount through mounts and storage. I select to mount external for example, and it does nothing. So i've tried formatting the cards, that didn't help. I've also tried a couple different versions of cwm, but to no avail.
Anyone else have this issue? or is just me?
Cheers guys!

CWM (Indirect's Nook Tab Flasher) Internal will not mount SD card; however the SD Card version will mount the exact same card that the internal version won't mount (Just to keep it straight, the SD card with CWM boot is a different card then the card that will and won't mount. I take the CWM boot card out). To me, this implies that the card is formatted correctly. It is the same 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk card that I use in the tablet on a daily basis.
I have also tried manually mounting the SD card in CWM Internal. Will not mount.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I correct in assuming the card is formatted correctly? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
Edit--Solved--The problem occured because I was using QuickBoot to go into Recovery (CWM). I decided to turn my NT off and use Power + N. CWM booted, saw the SD Card and I was able to Backup.
Hi. Noob Android user here
So. I turned on usb storage and formatted the sd card from windows. I copied some files onto it and after i turned off usb storage it said "SD card is safe to remove" and i don't seem to be able to mount it back.
Thank you.

try to format it thru phone
Tried that a couple of time and it didn't work. After a couple of reboots it worked now. Thanks.
Still got a question though.
What are the correct settings for formatting the sd card from windows?
Is it necessary to partition it from CWM? What are the correct setting for this?
LE: Ok. I got myself deeper in trouble. I managed to format the sd card from CWM. I mounted the sd card and copied update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip over. I wiped the phone's memory and tried to install CM7 and got the following error: "E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip (bad)". I also tried with update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.6.zip but doesn't work either.
I was thinking of trying to partition the sd card from CWM but i'm afraid i will make it unable to mount back again and this time i got no android to format it from.
Also it seems that formatting the sd card from cwm doesn't really work. The files are still there though it says that it completed.
LE2: I managed to mount sd card from cwm and copied over a cwm backup folder i had in my computer. Takes a while to copy it like it really does something. But after i try to restore or remount usb storage the files aren't there anymore.
can you tell me why do you want to patition your sd card? do you want to create second partition (sd-ext) or what?

Just format your SDCARD from SETTINGS - STORAGE, after that proceed with the instalation of CM7 or whatever you want. Don't partition your SDCARD if you don't know how to do that and if you don't need partitioned SDCARD. It is not necessary to do that if you don't use an APPS2SD app, so don't waste your time with that.
Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

Flash latest Siyah kernel (if you're on ICS/JB) and then boot to CWM. In mounts&storage mount USB storage and connect pc and phone via usb.

Hi, I installed CM10 on my 8GB from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217
Initially, my external SD card worked, but after a reboot, I am not even given an option in settings > storage to mount the SD card. Additionally, I cannot mount the card from CM 10 recovery boot.
I know that the actual card works, because I can install CWM or something else to the SD card and boot from it. It's just that in CM 10, it isn't recognized at all. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Hi
So I was playing around with the internal memory settings on my P780 and tried to partion my external 32 GB sd card so that my phone would recognize it as an internal storage. Anyhow, when i turned of my phone and inserted my 32 GB card and then turned it back on I didnt get past the Google bootlogo. So I fired up TWRP and from there I cant mount my internal storage since it says its on 0 MB.
Ive tried the factory reset button, another sd card, and even to re-flash my rom with no succes. When I flash, the log says:
E: unable to mount /emmc
E: unable to mount /data
E: unable to mount /cache
E: unable to mounte /system
any ideas on how to make my phone detect the internal storage again?

What did you do to your internal memory?
Did you tried to reboot the phone without external memory ?
Did you removed the external memory when your phone booted second time ?
Did you done any backup to your system ?

I went in to the storage setting and tried to make my external SD card as default. When I was done partioning my SD card I turned my phone off and put the SD card inside and then switched it on. The phone said that the card was damaged and I therefor formated it. I might have taken out the external card when I booted the phone the second time. There is no backup. My computer dont recognize my phone when I plug it in and i cant browse the sd nor internal storage. I was running the lates SLX rom and everything was running perfect up until this point.
Thanks for the reply Stympy
Problem solved!
I first tried to flash via SP flash tool, but failed and hard bricked the device. Then I followed the steps Stympy posted in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-mt6589-device-hard-bricked-t2890675
And flashed on a stock rom, and now my phone works normally again.
So the lesson is kids: if you mess things up, just hard brick your device and then flash it.
